Seal - Kiss From A Rose

 

There used to be a greying tower alone on the sea.

You became the light on the dark side of me.

Love remained a drug that's the high and not the pill.

But did you know,

That when it snows,

My eyes become large and

The light that you shine can be seen.

Baby,

I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey.

Ooh,

The more I get of you,

Stranger it feels, yeah.

And now that your rose is in bloom.

A light hits the gloom on the grave.

There is so much a man can tell you,

So much he can say.

You remain,

My power, my pleasure, my pain, baby

To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny.

Won't you tell me is that healthy, baby?

But did you know,

That when it snows,

My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen.

Baby,

I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey.

Ooh, the more I get of you

Stranger it feels, yeah

Now that your rose is in bloom.

A light hits the gloom on the grave,

I've been kissed by a rose on the grave,

I've been kissed by a rose

I've been kissed by a rose on the grave,

...And if I should fall along the way

I've been kissed by a rose

...been kissed by a rose on the grave.

There is so much a man can tell you,

So much he can say.

You remain

My power, my pleasure, my pain.

To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny, yeah

Won't you tell me is that healthy, baby.

But did you know,

That when it snows,

My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen.

Baby,

I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey.

Ooh, the more I get of you

Stranger it feels, yeah

Now that your rose is in bloom,

A light hits the gloom on the grave.

Yes I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey

Ooh, the more I get of you

Stranger it feels, yeah

And now that your rose is in bloom

A light hits the gloom on the grave

Now that your rose is in bloom,

A light hits the gloom on the grave.

Sia - Breathe Me

Help, I have done it again

I have been here many times before

Hurt myself again today

And the worst part is there's no one else to blame

 

Be my friend

Hold me, wrap me up

Unfold me, I am small and needy

Warm me up and breathe me

 

Ouch, I have lost myself again

Lost myself and I am nowhere to be found

Yeah, I think I might break

Lost myself again and I feel unsafe

 

Be my friend

Hold me, wrap me up

Unfold me, I am small and needy

Warm me up and breathe me

 

Be my friend

Hold me, wrap me up

Unfold me, I am small and needy

Warm me up and breathe me

I love Sia - she is great!

Go Or Go Ahead - Rufus Wainwright

 

Thank you for this bitter knowledge

Guardian angels who left me stranded

It was worth it, feeling abandoned

Makes one hardened but what has happened to love

You got me writing lyrics on postcards

Then in the evening looking at the stars

But the brightest of the planets is Mars

Then what has happened to love

So I will opt for the big white limo

Vanity fairgrounds and rebel angels

You can't be trusted with feathers so hollow

Your heaven's inventions, steel eyed vampires of love

You see over me, I'll never know

What you have shown to other eyes

Go or go ahead and surprise me

Say you've lead the way to a mirage

Go or go ahead and just try me

Nowhere's now here smelling of junipers

Fell of the hay bales, I'm over the rainbows

But of Medusa kiss me and crucify

This unholy notion of the mythic power of love

Look in her eyes, look in her eyes

Forget about the ones that are crying

Look in her eyes, look in her eyes

Forget about the ones that are crying

Go or go ahead

Travis - Sing :D

 

Baby, you've been going so crazy

Lately, nothing seems to be going right

Solo, why do you have to get so low

You're so… You've been waiting in the sun too long

 

(chorus)

But if you sing, sing

sing, sing, sing, sing

For the love you bring won't mean a thing

Unless you sing, sing, sing, sing

 

Colder, crying over your shoulder

Hold her, and tell her everythings gonna be fine

Surely, you've been going too early

Hurry, cause no one's gonna be stopped

 

(chorus)

But if you sing, sing

sing, sing, sing, sing

For the love you bring won't mean a thing

Unless you sing, sing, sing, sing

 

Baby, there's something going on today

But I say nothing, nothing, nothing,

Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing

You were on my mind

Inside the cinema

You looked so beautiful

I almost had to go

And when I got outside

I thought of you again

I think you should be framed

In some Fine Art gallery

I know you'd disagree with me

But I love you anyway

 

 

Should I climb high my

Dreary city walls

They make me feel so small

Oh let me fade away

This city's so cold and old

Forever rain or snow

I'd really love to come and go

Oh won't you stay with me

I know you'd disagree with me

I just know you'd disagree

But I love you anyways

 

 

You were on my mind

Inside the cinema

You looked so beautiful

I almost dried an eye

And when I got outside

I caught the 44

It dropped me outside my front door

Forgot what I'd been living for

 

travis- i love you anyways

Feeder - Feeling a Moment

 

Feeling the moment the slip away

Losing direction you're losing faith

You're wishing for someone

Feeling it all begin to slide

Am I just like you

All the things you do - can't help myself

 

How do you feel when there's no sun

How do you feel when rain drops come pouring down again

How do you feel when there's noone

Am I just like you

 

Turning to face what you've become

Bury the ashes of someone

Broken by the strain

Trying to fill that space inside

Am I just like you

All the things you do - can't help myself

 

How do you feel when there's no sun

How do you feel when rain drops come pouring down again

How do you feel when there's noone

Am I just like you

All the things you do

 

Don't ever feel

that you're alone

I'll never let you down

I'll never leave you dry

Don't fall apart

Don't let it go

Carry the motion

Carry the motion back to me

 

Feeling the moment the slip away

Feeling the moment the slip away

 

Am I just like you

 

How do you feel when there's no sun

How do you feel when rain drops come pouring down again

How do you feel when there's noone

Am I just like you

[/b]

The Frames - Look Back Now

 

Looking through the valley floor

I saw a changing man

And all the places they were

And as I walk beside you now

I feel there is no more we can say

But I'd never do nothing to hurt you love

 

And if we look back now

And see how far your tiny ship has come

And if we look back know

We see how willingly some bridges burn

 

You know I think its a shame

You don't talk at all

Maybe you just don't hear me call

But I've been doing very well

I play those games no more

I'm just getting on

But I'd always come running to catch you

 

And if we look back now

And see how easily these tables turn

And if we look back know

We see how willingly some bridges burn

And if we look back now

Maybe we can forgive ourselves for all we've done

For all we've done

And if we look back now

And see how far your time of rest has come

And if we look back now

We see how willingly these bridges burn

Bridges burn

The Beatles - Happiness Is A Warm Gun

 

She's not a girl who misses much

Do do do do do do

Oh, yeah

 

She's well acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand

Like a lizard on a window pane

The man in the crowd with the multi-coloured mirrors

On his hobnail boots

Lying with his eyes while his hands are

Busy working overtime

A soap impression of his wife which he ate

And donated to the national trust

 

I need a fix cos I'm going down

Down to the bits that I left uptown

I need a fix cos I'm going down

 

Mother Superior jumped the gun

Mother Superior jumped the gun

Mother Superior jumped the gun

Mother Superior jumped the gun

Mother Superior jumped the gun

Mother Superior jumped the gun

 

Happiness is a warm gun (bang bang, shoot shoot)

Happiness is a warm gun, mama (bang bang, shoot shoot)

When I hold you in my arms (oh, yeah)

And I feel my finger on your trigger (oh, yeah)

I know nobody can do me no harm (oh, yeah)

 

Because happiness is a warm gun, mama (bang bang, shoot shoot)

Happiness is a warm gun, yes it is (bang bang, shoot shoot)

 

Happiness is a warm, yes it is, gun

 

Happiness, bang bang, shoot shoot

Well, don't you know that happiness is a warm gun, mama? (is a warm gun, yeah)

^ that song was stuck in my head the other day

Dirty Vegas - Days Go Bye

You

You

 

You are still a whisper on my lips

A feeling at my fingertips

That's pulling at my skin

 

You leave me when I'm at my worst

Feeling as if I've been cursed

Bitter cold within

 

Days go by and still I think of you

Days when I couldn't live my life without you

Days go by and still I think of you

Days when I couldn't live my life without you

Without you

Without you

 

You are still a whisper on my lips

A feeling at my fingertips

That's pulling at my skin

 

You leave me when I'm at my worst

Feeling as if I've been cursed

Bitter cold within

 

Days go by and still I think of you

Days when I couldn't live my life without you

Without you

Without you

 

Days go by and still I think of you

Days when I couldn't live my life without you

Days go by and still I think of you

Days when I couldn't live my life without you

Without you

Without you

Without you

Without you

Without you

Muse - Falling Down

 

I’m falling down

And fifteen thousand people scream

They were all begging for your dream

I’m falling down

Five thousand houses burning down

No-one is gonna save this town

 

Too late

I already found what I was looking for

You know it wasn’t here

No it wasn’t here

 

I was calling your name

But you would never hear me sing

You wouldn’t let me begin

So I’m crawling away

'Cause you broke my heart in two

No, I will not forget you

 

Too late

I already found what I was looking for

You know it wasn’t you

No, it wasn’t you

Noooooo

 

Falling away

You would never see me through

No, I could not forget you

Falling down

Five thousand house burning down

No-one is gonna save this town

 

Too late

I already found what I was looking for

You know it wasn’t you

No, it wasn’t you

No

 

Falling down

Now the world is upside down

I’m heading straight for the clouds

the strokes - take it or leave it

 

i fell of the track

now i can't go back

see i'm not like that

The Frames - God Bless Mom

 

God bless mom

Best of all

Spread your wings

Fly or fall

 

You'll see how hard it can be

To keep your side of the deal

And you'll see how hard it can be

To keep one foot in the real

 

God bless you

Strong and true

Stay at home

Good as gold

 

And you'll see how hard it can be

To keep your side of the deal

And you'll see how hard it can be

To keep one foot in the real

Jeff Buckley - Forget Her

 

While this town is busy sleeping

And all the noise has died away

I walk the streets to stop my weeping

Cos she'll never change her ways

 

Don't fool yourself

She was heartache from the moment that you met her

My heart feels so still

As I try to find the will to forget her somehow

I think I've forgotten her now

 

Her love is a rose, pale and dying

Dropping her petals in land unknown

All full of wine the world before her

Was sober with no place to go

 

But don't fool yourself

She was heartache from the moment that you met her

My heart is frozen still

As I try to find the will to forget her somehow

She's somewhere out there now

 

My tears falling down as I try to forget

Her love was a joke from the day we met

All of her words, all of her men

All of my pain when I think back to when

 

Remember her hair as it shone in the sun

The smell of the bed when I knew what she'd done

Tell yourself over and over

You won't ever need her again

 

But don't fool yourself

She was heartache from the moment that you met her

My heart is frozen still

As I try to find the will to forget her somehow

 

Oh, she was heartache from the day that I first met her

My heart is frozen still

As I try to find the will to forget you, somehow

I know you're somewhere out there right now

Enya - On My Way Home

I have been given

one moment from heaven

as I am walking

surrounded by night,

Stars high above me

make a wish under moonlight.

 

On my way home

I remember

only good days.

On my way home

I remember all the best days.

I'm on my way home

I can remember

every new day.

 

 

I move in silence

with each step taken,

snow falling round me

like angels in flight,

Far in the distance

is my wish under moonlight.

Green Day - Homecoming

 

[Part 1: The death of St. Jimmy]

 

My heart is beating from me

I am standing all alone

Please call me only if you are coming home

Waste another year flies by

Waste a night or two

You taught me how to live

In the streets of shame

Where you've lost your dreams in the rain

There's no signs of hope

The stems and seeds of the last of the dope

There's a glow of light

The St. Jimmy is the spark in the night

Bearing gifts and trust

The fixture in the city of lust

What the hell's your name?

What's your pleasure and whats your pain?

Do you dream to much?

Do you think what you need is a crutch?

In the crowd of pain. St. Jimmy comes without any shame

He says “we're fucked up”

But we're not the same

And mom and dad are the ones you can blame

 

Jimmy died today

 

He blew his brains out into the bay

In the state of mind it's my own private suicide

 

[Part 2: East 12th St.]

 

Well nobody cares

Well nobody cares

Does anyone care if nobody cares?

 

Well nobody cares

Well nobody cares

Does anyone care if nobody cares?

 

 

 

Jesus filling out paperwork now

At the facility on east 12th st.

He's not listened to a word now

He's in his own world

And he's daydreaming

 

He'd rather be doing something else now,

Like cigarettes and coffee with the underbelly,

His life's on the line with anxiety now,

And she had enough,

And he had plenty

 

Somebody get me out of here

Anybody get me out of here

Somebody get me out of here

Get me the fuck right out of here

 

So far away

I don't want to stay

Get me out of here right now

I just wanna be free

Is there a possibility?

Get me out of here right now

This life like aint for me

 

[Part 3: Nobody likes you!]

 

I fell asleep while watching spike TV

After 10 cups of coffee

And you're still not here

Dreaming of a song

But something went wrong

But I can't tell anyone

'Cause no one's here

Left me here alone

And I should have stayed home

After 10 cups of coffee I'm thinking

(where'd you go?)

Nobody likes you, everyone left you

(where'd you go?)

They're all out without you havin' fun

(where'd you go?)

Everyone left you, nobody likes you

(where'd you go?)

They're all out without you havin' fun

(where'd you go..go..go..go..)

 

Geeze...Ha..

 

[Part 4: Rock and roll girlfriend]

 

I got a rock and roll band

I got a rock and roll life

I got a rock and roll girlfriend

And another ex-wife

I got a rock and roll house

I got a rock and roll car

I play the shit out the drums

And I can play the guitar

I got a kid in New York

I got a kid in the bay

I haven't drank or smoked nothin'

In over 22 days

So get off my case

Off of my case

Off of my case!

 

[Part 5: We're coming home again]

 

Here they come marching down the street

Like a desperation murmur of a heart beat

Coming back from the edge of town

Underneath their feet

The time has come and it going nowhere

Nobody ever said that life was fair now

Go-carts and guns are treasures they will bear

In the summer heat

The world is spinning

Around and around

Out of control again

From the 7-11 to the fear of breaking down

To send my love a letterbomb

And visit me in hell

We're the ones going

 

Home

We're coming home again

Home

We're coming home again

 

I started fuckin' running

As soon as my feet touched the ground

We're back in the Barrio

But to you and me, that's jingle town

 

Home

We're coming home again

Home

We're coming home again

Home

We're coming home again

Home

We're coming home again

Home

We're coming home again

Home

We're coming home again

Home

We're coming home again

Home

We're coming home again

Home

We're coming home again

 

Nobody likes you

Everyone left you

They're all out without you havin' fun

The Dears

From the album "No Cities Left"

 

Last night all the horrible

Things in life

Start through my dreams and

I just want to shine it up,

Shine it down or shine off

 

Going where we lost it all

Yet things before are with us now

It hurts it kills

It takes a choice

It brings no light

It brings no love

 

And what we want most

Is no where to be found

Some people care

They're going long

They're going deep

Still it's nowhere to be found

 

We're looking far

We're searching wide

Still it's nowhere to be found

We're looking far

We're searching wide

Still it's nowhere to be found

What we want is gone for good

It's simply nowhere to be found

 

Somewhere is the one that never will

burn out

They're looking for a heart

Looking for a home

Looking for a hand

This broken head

You're not alone

You're not alone

You're not alone

You're not alone

You're not alone

 

And you never said I'd see you again

You never said I will

You never said I'd see you again

You never said I will

I will

I will

I will

My love

 

Someone somewhere says they've got it all

But that's not even what we want

Not even close

Not even close

 

It won't ever be what we want

It won't ever be what we want

It won't ever be what we want

It won't ever be what we want

It won't ever be what we want

It won't ever be what we want

It won't ever be what we want

 

[i think this song is amazing...i hope some other people have heard it..i can't help but sing it everytime i hear it]

Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Philadelphia

 

I was bruised and battered and I couldn't tell

what I felt

I was unrecognizable to myself

Saw my reflection in a window I didn't know

my own face

Oh brother are you gonna leave me

wasting away

On the streets of Philadelphia

 

I walked the avenue till my legs felt like stone

I heard the voices of friends vanished and gone

At night I could hear the blood in my veins

Just as black and whispering as the rain

On the streets of Philadelphia

 

Ain't no angel gonna greet me

It's just you and I my friend

And my clothes don't fit me no more

I walked a thousand miles

just to slip this skin

 

The night has fallen, I'm lyin' awake

I can feel myself fading away

So receive me brother with your faithless kiss

or will we leave each other alone like this

On the streets of Philadelphia

Radiohead - Let Down

 

Transport

Motorways and tramlines

Starting and then stopping

Taking off and landing

 

The emptiest of feelings

Disappointed people

Clinging onto bottles

When it comes it's so, so disappointing

 

Let down and hanging around

Crushed like a bug in the ground

Let Down and hanging around

 

Shell smashed, juices flowing

Wings twitch, legs are going

Don't get sentimental

It always ends up drivel

 

One day, I am gonna grow wings

A chemical reaction

Hysterical and useless

Hysterical and

 

Let down and hanging around

Crushed like a bug in the ground

Let down and hanging around

 

You know, you know where you are with

You know where you are with

Floor collapses floating

Bouncing back

 

And one day

You'll know where you are

You'll know where you are

You'll know where you are

 

Let down and hanging around

Crushed like a bug in the ground

Let down and hanging around

The Frames - Keepsake

 

Maybe its all we cant take

keeps us always returning

I'm keeping this as a keepsake

and everything else I'm burning

 

and maybe its cause you cant wait

I'm keeping this as a keepsake

and everything else forgetting

 

when were down, down, down,

all the way

can we run away.

 

and maybe it cause I cant say

keeps you always believing

 

and maybe its cause you cant say

keeps me always believing

ill give you this as a keepsake

and right after that I'm leaving

 

and maybe its all we cant take

keeps us always returning

ill give you this as a keepsake

and everything else I'm burning..

 

I cant sleep..

 

their hunting me down like an insect

chasing me down like an insect

crushing me down like an insect

stamping me out like an insect

running me down like an insect

The Crash <> Fidelity

 

Boo! Morning, grey. Sober up today

Feel this pouring rain, it's the deepest sea on Earth

Hear this crying wind, it's the saddest song I've heard

-wings are growing on her

 

Oh, Fidel, I know. Princess has gone with the flow

Oh, Fidel, I know. Angels, they form into snow

 

Cool everything and you hear her sing

Here we live to see all love's oddities

Pray for foreign gods to bring your love to you

-hear him bouncing the doors

 

Oh, Fidel, I know. Princess has gone with the flow

Oh, Fidel, I know. Angels, they form into snow

 

Oh, Fidel, I know. Princess has gone with the flow

Oh, Fidel, I know. Angels, they form into snow

 

Princess, my angel, my everything, my honey pie, oh why?

Enya - Only Time

 

Who can say why your heart sighs,

As your love flies?

Only time...

 

And who can say why your heart cries,

When your love dies?

Only time...

 

 

Who can say when the roads meet,

That love might be,

In your heart.

 

And who can say when the day sleeps,

If the night keeps all your heart?

Night keeps all your heart...

 

Who can say if your love grows,

As your heart chose?

Only time...

 

And who can say where the road goes,

Where the day flows?

Only time...

 

Who knows?

Only time...

 

Who knows?

Only time...

Radiohead - Electioneering

 

I will stop

I will stop at nothing

Say the right things

When electioneering

I trust I can rely on your vote

 

When I go forwards you go backwards

And somewhere we will meet

When I go forwards you go backwards

And somewhere we will meet

 

Riot shields

Voodoo economics

It's just business

Cattle prods and the IMF

I trust I can rely on your vote

 

When I go forwards you go backwards

And somewhere we will meet

When I go forwards you go backwards

And somewhere we will meet

The Frames - One Irish Rover

 

Tell me a story

Now that its over

And wrap it in glory

For one Irish rover

Tell me you're wiser now

Tell me you're older

Wrap it in glory

For one Irish rover

 

I can tell by the light in your eyes

That you're so far away

Just like a ship out on the sea

Without a sail you're gonna stray

Tell me the facts real straight

Don't make me over

And wrap it in glory now

For one Irish rover

That's over now

 

I can tell by the light in your eyes

That you're so far away

Just like a ship out on the sea

Without a sail you're gonna stray

Tell me you see the light

Tell me you know me

Make it come out alright

And wrap it in glory

For one Irish rover

For one Irish rover

Tell me you see the light

Tell me you know me
